Health and Safety Awareness
To be able to go on a construction site, you need to have a certain level of

through specific training and by sitting the Health, Saftey and Environment
test.
Throughout the course, we'll monitor your progress and provide constructive
feedback to help you to improve where needed. We'll measure your skills and
knowledge against nationally recognised standards specific to the construction
area. We assess you in a range of ways including practical tasks and projects
from which you'll create a portfolio of evidence, set online exams and written
coursework and assignments.
